    How Long Do You Lose Your License for A Second DUI in Columbus Ohio

    How Long Do You Lose Your License for A Second DUI in Columbus Ohio

    Colin Maher, 03 September 2020

    Does the length of a court-ordered driver’s license suspension increase with a second DUI/OVI conviction?

    It can, but a longer driver’s license suspension is not automatic. Sentencing guidelines permit judges to impose a suspension of between 12 months and 7 years for a second OVI conviction.

    The period during which no driving privileges will be granted does increase. The sentencing guidelines do not allow for any type of driving privileges for 45 days.
